Hi - total bike newbie
Hi all,
I thought I would introduce myself and say hello before I start posting some questions (which will be immediately after this...). I am a new rider, 39 years old, and looking to get into road riding to keep in shape and eventually ride in a group for distance. I know next to nothing about bikes but willing to spend the time to learn but most likely will have a number of questions (I will be making good use of the search function as well).
So hello and thanks in advance for your help and patience.

Hi - it's a good question. I just posted in the road section. Currently I am looking at a Trek 2.3 or a Cannondale CAAD9-4 based on what is available in my area and the top end of my price range for a bike.
